Derek Holland impersonates Harry Caray in the dugout

If you just pitched 8 shutout innings to lead your team to a Game 4 victory in the World Series, you’d be in a good mood too.

During the 3rd inning of the Rangers’ Game 5 victory last night, Derek Holland strapped on a headset for an in-game interview. The topic of conversation, however, quickly moved from his stellar pitching performance the night before to his talents as an impersonator.

Holland then went on to give a play-by-play commentary on Matt Holliday’s at-bat against C.J. Wilson…while impersonating legendary Cubs’ commentator Harry Caray.

Watch the video here:

Fox commentators Joe Buck and Tim McCarver were so enamored with the impression that they momentarily forgot there was still an important game going on. Though upon closer inspection of the impression, it seems that Holland isn’t mimicking Caray, but doing an impression of Will Ferrell doing an impression of Harry Caray. Watch Ferrell’s bit here:

Let’s just say that it’s a good thing the Rangers won last night. Because as Red Sox pitchers Josh Beckett, John Lackey, and Jon Lester know, dugout hijinks are only tolerated so long as the team is winning. And if the Rangers end up winning the series, you can be sure Derek Holland will have earned a guest spot on a few talk shows as well.
